The moment Jay revealed that he had acrophobia, Iris almost dragged him towards the rooftop. His protest went in vain because his friend decided not to listen.

“Where are you suddenly pulling me?”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJokSmH2i3w
He halted on his track using his strength and tried to free his wrist from the other's strong grip.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQEazHbRxQ
“We are going to face some fears. ”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxRJEPVdyg
Iris replied with a serious look which he now showed rarely. Right now they were standing on the stairs because the elevator was taking time and Iris can't wait, knowing that the other party was ready to flee at any moment, so he concluded to use the stairs. It was not easy to go from the 3rd floor to the 6th floor while using the staircase, but iris was dead set to complete his plan that was "time to face some fears.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHNOTCNviD
Jay doesn't even want to think that what his friend was thinking, Merely thought of that was frightening.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPnUBK6Duw
“Are you out of your mind? It does not work like that. ” Jay almost shouted when Iris started to tug him again, it was little relief that no other student was passing through the stairs otherwise this situation would be awkward to watch.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Ma2FLwje7
“Haaa.....”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8G2X6Wvsfn
Jay took a deep breath when they arrived at the roof, he wanted to run back when he noticed that Iris had loosened his grip but iris acted fast and locked the door.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcGmUsyv6Y
“Don't even think about it, we are not going back, not now, when we are finally here.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8pe0xHcJyV
He wanted to argue, but knowing Iris' personality he knew that complaining was useless.
Iris gave him one last look and walked to the edge of the roof. Seeing his friend standing at the end of the roof like he was enjoying it. Even though the end was secured by an iron railing, Jay still felt the anxiety creeping inside him.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡflyrW9gWy3
Was he stupid or something? He was about to tell him to come down when same time Iris turned his face towards him while holding out his hand.
“You think that I'm going to accompany you, on your crazy adventure?”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWD7KKH726
Jay gave him a stern look.
Was he making a joke about his condition?
Did he make a mistake of trusting enough to share his insecurity? He was feeling several emotions at a time.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoA160uGBhN
“Stop thinking stupidly and come here.” Iris interrupted his train of thoughts.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvlUQaqSx2
"You are stupid here, who even...
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNCa2yqtJU
"Ok, I'm the stupid one, Iris cut him off and accepted wholeheartedly, but can you please come over because my arm is starting to hurt. ”
The fact that he was still holding his hand out for jay.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTNudWh6nV
“Nothing is going to happen, I'm here.” He reassured his friend.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFHoGu38Ft
“Don't you trust me?
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4NLYJwmKE
“Not even a bit.” jay answered instantly.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ91QbY9tMi
“Jay, ” this time Iris just called his name, judging the seriousness on his face jay let out a long sigh and finally step towards him.
He hesitantly grabbed Iris's hand who gently pulled him to the edge.
His eyes were shut closed, he wasn't even planning to open them any time soon.
He almost screamed in fear when he felt that iris almost let go his hand. He immediately tightened his hold. What?? Did his friend was planning to yank him from here?
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZKJBxRP9T
“Come on, open your eyes, just don't look downward. Open your eyes slowly and focus above...
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvR9998IxOT
On the given instruction he finally opened his eyes. Was he on a suicide mission??
He took a brief look at Iris again assuring himself that other the person wasn't pulling any joke on him.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpSkq8tXaz
“Focus on the sky,..” iris slightly tugged on his hand.
He tried to gaze towards to the sky, but suddenly felt a strong wave of dizziness, his heart started fast maybe he is going to faint soon.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0FNQr262zY
“Don't focus on the sensations in your body. It's just your mind letting these sensations assuming that you are in danger.
The more you will try to suppress them the more they will come back stronger.
Relax your body.
Now.. tell me what color the sky is at this moment?
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsUQFDnC5K
Jay tried this time and managed to answer.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDPFSr6ofW
“darrk .... maybe mixed with the shade of deep violet.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupez4kBQ99
“Good, now look at the stars, aren't they shining beautifully??
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90F1IUCSlO
“They are....
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNNj3Wt53s
There was a pause for a brief moment.
“Also the moon is..” This time jay was the one who unconsciously lost the hold.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3uweTtHM9
“ I bet you are a moon person..” Iris chuckled slightly. Perhaps he was diverting his attention.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCoSke80Rqc
“ I AM.....moon fascinates me. Or maybe the moon attracts loners like me more than normal ones. Since my chi...

Jay was speaking and randomly glanced down not remembering that he shouldn't dare.
Damn, Jay just realized his position. Before he could measure the distance and panicked.
Someone from behind immediately covered his eyes with one hand and used the other to pull him down.
All this happened in seconds. Jay breathed heavily processing all of the sudden events.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66hHnMsH3S
After calming himself, he turned towards the person who's idea this was, wait this wasn't an idea it was a suicide mission.
He punched him in the face. That hard blow made Iris stumbled to his feet.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyn94rtYdRK
“ shitt.. ” He mumbled a curse holding his jaw.
He surely wasn't accepting a punch, not with this much strength.
Seeing his friend grunted in pain didn't make jay feel bad, severed you right.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPmC8Figxg
“I was trying to help you to overcome your fear,”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhEbJ2oQVt
Iris explained to his friend who was busy typing on the laptop. Jay was sitting on a chair next to his study table while iris was sitting on the edge of his single bed applying an ice pack on his jaw to ease the pain and facing the back of other.
During that commotion on the roof jay was the one who walked out first.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6mbg8S3lB
“You also hit me so it's equal. Isn't it?? We should stop this fighting.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7Oex5dF2r
“ I'm not even saying anything, Iris. " Jay continued typing.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCAo0LX0VXG
“ It's the same. You aren't talking means you are still angry and maybe want to hit me more.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡph6tXjyTgU
Jay closed the laptop with a thud. And turned toward his roommate.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSIGO9tQSO6
“You almost gave me a heart attack, Iris.”
Iris brought his hands up like in a surrendered position.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3FMBdxhk1h
“OK, it was my fault. I just wanted to help you.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXiQNwqFdy
“Wanted to help me?? Making me stand on the higher place.” Jay glared at him.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfNRgU6sNI
“ I'm accepting that my method was harsh, but you can't deny that for a little time you felt relaxed. Even if it was for a minute or seconds you did. Rght??”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJ2MOKKpg4
Yes, he can't refuse he was relaxed for a moment, but also he can't forget that he saw himself die.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxIfw5VZm8g
“Whatever...
Don't dare to include me in your stupid adventures for next time. And I will break your bones if again tried to drag me like this.” He warned his roommate.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO009DwBRAR
“ I WILL NOT DARE TO DO,” Iris emphasized his words to make other believe.
But that was just the start of Jay's adventurous life.
